• The flavor here is fun; I ADORE the idea of resetting your traits when you're reborn. That said, I think free spirits lack a special twist that makes them really stand out beyond "carefree plantfolk". Especially mechanically; everything checks out, but I would have preferred more unique traits that better reflect what it's like to play the ancestry. One specific note: I initially blanched at Astounding Vigor adding a bonus on top of immunity to weakened, but I think play has proven out that weakened isn't as impactful a condition as some of the others you can be immune to (like dazed or frightened), despite frequency, so I think this extra little buff is 100% fine actually.
• The Free Spirit, while an interesting concept for an NPC, is overwhelmingly imbalanced for a player character. In Draw Steel, resurrection is extremely rare, and this ancestry makes it virtually unlimited and freely available. Beyond that, Mimicked Ancestral Trait adds another layer of complexity and confusion -- does the change last for every regeneration, incentivizing death, or does it change with every regeneration, requiring the player and director to adjust abilities? It neutralizes the uniqueness and specificity of ancestry choice. This entry also has quite a few spelling and grammar errors and would benefit from an additional editing pass. There is something to the idea, and I DO think it would make a fun NPC concept, especially for a recurring NPC who appears in different guises and can ultimately be a source of an important resurrection, but as a player ancestry, this balance is EXTREMELY skewed.
